Valentine’s Day Special Edition: Most Romantic Gesture

My husband is not a fan of Valentine’s Day. He doesn’t like feeling obligated to do anything. I went for years without a Valentine’s Day Present. That doesn’t mean he isn’t romantic. He just randomly turns up with flowers, chocolates, jewellery when I least expect it…which includes occasionally getting things on Valentine’s Day. Or the day BEFORE Valentine’s Day, as happened this year.

I love simple romantic gestures, which works well in our marriage. It can just be “Hey You” as he stares at me when I wake up with a massive case of bedhead. “Hey You” is code for I Love You for us. Or like this week when I was so sick and he made me this berry and dark chocolate slide because I could use the antioxidants. Sometimes he goes bigger, like when he bought me a beautiful ring at a charity auction. Did I mention my Christmas present one year was the cover of my first novel in giant poster form. Yes ladies, he’s a keeper.

What constitutes a romantic gesture varies from person to person. So I’d love to know what you think is the most romantic gesture from a novel? If you can’t think of one you can also add the most romantic gesture you know of that was so good it should have been in a novel (warning: writers of this blog and of follow this blog make want to use this in their WIP).
